if it were considered those interested could submit a request by a certain date so as all info is available and an accurate count of jr state finalists interested before the brackets are made. Treat it like it was another regional seeding wise. I know it's too good to be true but we want to do both....

If a last-minute amendment were implemented qualifying the top 3-4 Junior state placers for the WVYWA I would likely take advantage. Just a thought...

It's a shame because as a parent I really looked forward to attending both. Financially it was going to be difficult. It wasn't until recently I discovered we cannot. ( I apologize mscoach6) I was told our league championship qualified us and I never really investigated it further until they were sa...

I love this website it makes me laugh everyday I log on. Wvnorth, so in the OVAC there was no WV kids in the 98 pd. class? These questions people are posting today have been answered many times over. But, for the record here we go again. Any middle school kid that wants to participate in regionals ...

When is the middle school done qualifying? I'm a bit confused as to how it's going to be done.i thought each middle school league championship was the qualifier. Ours in region 1 ( northern panhandle) was the OVC and it was a month ago or so.The region one chair sent a text to our coach that was for...

Over the course of my sons wrestling career I have noticed more and more the wrestlers, not the referee calling injury time. Particularly when a wrestler finds himself on his back or in threat of being turned. In one instance a kid called injury time, I asked the ref what was wrong with him as he ju...

Is fighting your opponent from scoring on you not wrestling as well? Certainly we all hate that wrestler that gets a lead and cruises ,particularly when it's against your wrestler but I've seen some really bad stalling calls against a wrestler that was just defending the onslaught of a losing wrestl...

The numbers for both are gonna be poor. I've already heard middle school numbers are so low they'll accept whoever wants to come. That is per a text message forwarded to me today trying to get wrestlers. My sons jr states bracket has 9 kids. I'll bet WVYWA isn't any better. I'm seriously considering...

Results are in. Is there any chance wvnorth can post a weight by weight prediction for ovcs "true champions" vs the wsaz champions? Don't hold back, drink some of that lager that you blamed for bringing out the courage/honesty last time you said true champions seek competition and the com...

Coach Williams , I live in Hancock Co. Can't go any further north in Wv. I live 5 minutes from Ohio and Pa. It's great wrestlingup here but you gotta travel across the border. When my son was young we couldn't go to a tournament in Pa or Ohio that Josh Humphries or Caleb Haynes wasn't at. My son wre...

So you are telling me you have never heard it referred to as middle school states? I didn't say it was I said it was referred to as. It is simply the largest collection of middle school teams throughout wv and as close to a state tournament as there is at this point. I take it your school can't att...

I was not suggesting that blennerhasset dodged anyone. I just don't understand why a team in wv wouldn't attend the wsaz. This is commonly referred to as the middle school state tournament. Can't imagine the kids would rather go to a different tournament. If blennerhasset goes to wsaz there could h...

I usually don't comment on negative comments from people that don't have a clue. My team was not trying to dodge or run from any team nor any particular wrestlers. In the 9 years I've coached Blennerhassett we have never ran from any team or wrestlers. We have sought out the best competition we cou...

They used the excuse that they didn't come because JV was not getting to wrestle. but I'm sure it's because they were dodging a few wrestlers. I'm not trying to start senseless chatter HHC :shock: but going to OVC was not taking the easy road. Blennerhassett had a lot of kids still going in the sem...

I'd like to see OVC VS WSAZ so the senseless chatter can be minimized. I know who the good kids are down there but you imply there is no good wrestlers up here. I don't wish to debate it. Those who know, know. We could do it March 5-6 or 19-20? Who cares if anyone else got something scheduled. I'm b...

OVC starts tomorrow. I know several teams w #1 seeds at WSAZ now coming to OVC!!! I love it!!!! Better redo your predictions and be generous because some kids just got a free moveup at WSAZ... Maybe you can reschedule the biscuit world tourney for next week too funny guy! Woooooo! :lol: win, lose or...

Based on what I have read the past couple of years, The WSAZ is the big thing for middle school wrestlers. If this is true, then rescheduling it is a wise move. So not considering other tournaments hard work is a wise move? Seems a pattern is forming down there... What are you talking about? What p...

You need not reschedule this tourney.

This is where the commission needs to step in. You can't just change dates and ruin previously scheduled tournaments. This has a ripple effect that is now going to ruin several more big events.

You guys are absolutely right about pick one and move on. What I would like to know before I picked one would be where is my best competition? Well hopefully I can get a list going to help those wanting to find or avoid some good competition. So far I have on my shortlist going to Parkersburg Junior...

"Leadership: The art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it." WV youth wrestling lacks leadership. Without it, the in-fighting and bickering will continue. One true state championship system that benefits the kids could still meet all constituents ...

I'm not from Wood Co. i have no affiliation with the jr states aside from my son competing there. What is the motive for placing the regionals on the same date? My son will be in high school next year so where it goes after this year doesn't matter to me. I just hate to show up to the jr states to f...

I think it's a great feature. What's regrettable about it?
